The Local2030 Coalition was built on the premise that communities are closest to the challenges we face today – from health to climate to inequality and conflict – and are therefore in the best position to address them. It aims to mainstreaming SDG localization in the work of the UN. Likewise, the Local2030 Coalition will promote trust, coordination and collaboration across the different spheres of government and between sectors, as they are essential to ensure short-term results as well as the long-term transformational change that we have foreseen in the 2030 Agenda 2030.
The ultimate goal of the Local2030 Coalition is to bring together an extensive network of partners to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and innovative solutions that can accelerate SDG progress at local level.
The Secretariat is hosted by UN-Habitat that is also the permanent co-chair of the Coalition. The other co-chair is appointed for a period of two years, on a rotational basis. UNDP is the first co-chair, followed by FAO.
The Local2030 Coalition Steering Committee gathers key stakeholders and will provide strategic guidance to the work. It has five members – a national government representative, a local government representative, a civil society representative, a local government networks’ representative; and a private sector representative. The Steering Committee will meet for the first time on April 29th in New York on the margins of the High-Level Meeting of the General Assembly on the implementation of the New Urban Agenda.
